Five Ways to Draw the Same Session
Candles, bars, line, area and Heikin-Ashi encode different amounts of the same data, and one of them is not raw price at all.

This lesson is part of a Stock Alerts + Tools plan.
What the lesson covers
- 0:00Five chart styles, one dataset, and one of them is not really price.
- 0:05What each shows. A line chart keeps only the close. A candle keeps all four prices.
- 0:15The one that is not price. Heikin-Ashi averages adjacent bars. The open and close shown never actually traded.
- 0:24When a line chart is better. Closing prices strip intraday noise, which makes long-term levels much clearer.
- 0:33Choosing. Candles for reading sessions, line for structure, Heikin-Ashi never for execution.
- 0:41Know which style is showing you real traded prices.
